Towergate has appointed former Giles corporate account executive Scott Brown in its Perth business.

Brown has joined Towergate's Perth management team and will head up the corporate department with responsibility for the servicing, development and acquisition of larger accounts and prospects.

Prior to Giles, Brown had spells at Willis and Marsh, mainly within the corporate market during a 27 year career in insurance.

Iain Murray, commercial director at Towergate in Perth said: “Scott brings with him unrivalled knowledge of the Scottish insurance market which will undoubtedly help us to push forward with our plans for continued growth in Perth and indeed across Scotland.

"We feel genuinely excited that he is joining the team with a remit to help us secure a leading position in this increasingly competitive market.”
